Universal Health Coverage (UHC) plays a vital role in ensuring that all people in a society can access quality health services without financial hardship. To support the International UHC Day (12 December 2021) designated by the United Nations and advocated by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network, this webinar explored how UHC could contribute to an equitable society and discussed the barriers and solutions from cross-country perspective with a focus to the health equity situation in Hong Kong.■
